Testing ground

Because honours education is a testing ground, you get to experience innovative education. You will take part in other teaching methods and examination methods than you may be used to. The classes are active and engaging and bring multiple perspectives together. Instead of only writing papers for assessment, you will dive in interdisciplinary group projects, write creative articles or make a podcast or documentary.
